Me and my friend visiting from Australia and we ordered the french onion soup (which was amazing and hearty) and I have the maple syrup ham and cheese pie and he had the shepherd's pie. Amazing traidtional local food and definitely not a tourist trap. Place was filled with locals. Only complaint is that the portions should be bigger cos we loved the food. Amazing restaurant frequented by locals and not a usual overpriced tourist spot that us visitors are accustomed to

In our first day in Quebec, we stoped in La Cuisine for a quick lunch before arriving to the hotel. It was raining a lot, so the convenience parking lot just in front of the restaurant was a plus. Also, they are very welcoming and they cook just in there that you can see. The food was so delicious as well as the dessert. Another thing is the concept of the space, they have a many different things to decorate the restaurant that make it unique. They reminded me my early years with a Mario Bro TV game that was so nostalgic. The seat and tables as well as the dishes and cups are all mixed which also made this place authentic. They provided us water in a bottler not as the traditional water jar. In the way to the bathroom, there are many music posters from back in the days which is pretty interesting to look at them and remembering some of them. We stayed there like an hour or so and it was a pleasure to start our journey in Quebec in La Cuisine. They speak in French and English as well. I recommend this place. And I feel bad that I forgot the name of the person who took care of our order. But thank you for your attention.

We stumbled across La Cuisine because we rented a vrbo a few doors down and the mouth-watering smell of the onion soup coming through the open windows drew us in. What a lucky find! The vibe is amazing, the service is friendly, and the onion soup is as delicious as we had hoped. I wish I lived close enough to make this a regular hangout.

I went to the La Cusine for lunch and my family had a great experience. I loved the soul of the day. The food was delicious and the price super reasonable for what is offered. Comparing that with Toronto prices, it looks cheap. The staff was very friendly and explained the menu. The space has a cool atmosphere. If I go to in Quebec City again I’ll definitely return there.

We ordered soup of the day (cream and pea greens that day), onion soup and grilled cheese. The atmosphere of the place was really superb, very decorated, lots of entertainment (without that stopping us from hearing each other), good music! The waitress was very cheerful and helpful. We got away with it for about twenty dollars, and it was very good, the cheese on the onion soup was nicely browned, and the soup of the day was very successful, well be back!

The wonderful variety! After a 2 week trip through Canada, this restaurant was more than convenient for us. Finally alternatives to burgers, fries, chicken and co. A very lovingly decorated restaurant with an extremely cozy atmosphere and lots of nice things to explore. This is underlined by the very friendly and helpful staff. The most important thing: the food! Here we cook like at moms home. Fresh, tasty and varied. There was really nothing to complain about but rather to highlight! If youre in the area, you shouldnt miss out on the food. Keep it up! In addition, the prices are more than reasonable. Theres nothing more to say, just give it a try.

Very nice discovery. Local dishes prepared on site, good and plentiful. The setting is more of a bistro. The two people in the kitchen and at the service are friendly and give good advice. The music is Good French music, good pieces that we dont even listen to in France anymore. Look for the error! All for a reasonable price... Parking: Rue Christophe Colombes you can have 1 chance of free parking for 60 minutes. Poker move...

Decor was cute. Food was well below average and overpriced. Would not recommend to anyone who likes to actually eat and enjoy food. We ordered a grilled cheese that was sadly made with processed cheese slices...so sad. We ordered what I thought was cabbage rollS...which came as 1 small cabbage roll with piping hot pureed sweet potatoes, canned tomato soup quality tomato sauce for $16.47 ...just brutal. No option for zero stars or that is what I would have to give in all honesty. Also feel sad they have the audacity to call this cuisine Quebecois comfort food Do not waste your money here.

Successful family dinner at La Cuisine. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. We tried the cabbage cigar and the Chinese pate. A delight ! And also very good the dish of fresh spinach salad cleverly mixed with goat cheese, walnuts, bacon and Corinthian raisins. Finally, the unemployed person s cake; which is eaten without hunger. Super good address in Quebec.

I got the lasagna and oh. my god. BEST lasagna I have EVER had. Not even kidding, I was QUAKING afterwards it was so good. Ive never tried salad, but I did try the salad served on the side, which was also really good. The service and prices were good and staff were very nice. Food was made quickly too. The atomsphere is quite inviting and colorful, but even with a lot of colors, it seems cozy and warm, not overwhelming. Not to mention it smelled SO GOOD when we walked in. Would give 6 stars if possible

July 22, 2024

DO NOT GO THERE! We waited an hour with 3 small children for our food to be served. The dishes were dirty and the food was prepared with BARE HANDS not being washed. So many dishes broke during our visit that I lost count. When our food came it came burnt. While I was waiting for my food I read the 1 star reviews. One stated the sanitary problems which they said they will take care of, they didnt.

I really fell in love with this place! We went there on a Monday evening last minute, for two, the welcome was warm. The place is superbly vintage, the kitchen is open concept, behind the counter we see the young lady, very cute, preparing grandmothers homemade recipes which she comes to serve us at the table, as if we were all invited to dinner at her home. She. The atmosphere is unusual and the service very pleasant. Everything we ordered was delicious and the prices are really sweet. Good quality/experience/price ratio, I recommend

Sitting at the table like at grandmas while enjoying a homemade dish...wow! When we arrive we are bombarded by figurines, decorations, frames that remind us of our childhood. Just going to the bathroom is cool. The people who welcome us to this restaurant make us feel welcome in their kitchen. It makes us feel like were part of a big family gathering and our hosts are in front of us serving us their comforting food. I liked it. Oh yes, all dishes are $16.95 so no surprises.

For a long time I didnt know how to review La Cuisine. All in all, its a place thats out of the ordinary, with a beautiful atmosphere, everything is quite laid-back and retro, it takes you back in time, in a beautiful and honest way. If you come here with a group of friends for a late night, in my opinion it is one of the best places in Quebec. There is a good choice of beers for those who like that. On the other hand, it still remains a restaurant, and this part deserves a little more attention in my opinion. The service is a little too laid-back and friendly to be described as efficient or professional, the food is more reminiscent of what we might find when visiting our parents who are very busy and tired from their week rather than in a restaurant as as such. It has its charm and a certain nostalgic power, like the decor, but is it enough? For me its not my cup of tea.

A place with atypical decoration with a warm welcome and very good cuisine. What more could you ask for?

Great ambience. The place is small and quirky but cozy. There is an open kitchen with regular home appliances which is best. Service was prompt. Deducting 1 star just because they dont have much chicken options. Otherwise loved the place.

Chaotic place, although with a certain appeal. Good attention, but terrible food. The melted cheese sandwich looks like a student residence sandwich, two slices of bread with industrial cheese. Lasagna is a frozen and reheated product, with industrial sauce. The onion soup looks like a tetrabrick.

An absolutely warm atmosphere, great staff and above all a truly atypical decoration!

Like at grannys. Kitch style like only visiting grandparents you can find. Love the ambience and vibe. Food is very good and generous portions topped with a friendly service all the way. Important, last 3 days of the week a DJ animate the party and everyone is dancing in grannys kitchen, lights and party ambience included. For sure one of my favourites places.

HEALTH HAZARD! Sat at the bar and saw multiple dishes being made on the fly with no gloves, and no washing of hands. We ordered a soda at the bar and waited 30 minutes. No one took our order. In that time frame, we saw how every meal was microwaved, baked in the oven, or grilled in a panini from the bar. Meals were heated by 1 of the 4 microwaves, one oven, or one panini grill. Talk about Chef Mic (Chef Microwave). The person making the food wiped his hands on his pants and continued dipping his bare hands in buckets for lettuce, carrots, and other ingredients to make salad. As someone who is pregnant, I was no way going to take the risk to get food poisoning. Dave Ramsey would shut this place down.

On vacation in Quebec to celebrate our twentieth birthday, we tried several restaurants much more expensive than this one. And frankly its our favorite, excellent home cooking with a nice personal touch. Beautiful, well-stocked and well-presented plates. Cool retro atmosphere and very attentive, friendly and efficient young waiter. Really affordable. And whats more, the kitchen is open until 1am! Well done

Atypical atmosphere, a menu with little choice (for us French, strangers), but what a surprise when the plate arrived! We had two dishes to share (cabbage cigar and shepherds pie... slight preference for the cigar) and a soup of the day. Our taste buds were delighted!!! A very very pleasant and attentive waitress

I love this place. Dj set, Ive never danced as much as here. The food is great for comfort food. The portions are reasonable for the calories to burn afterwards. People are authentic. 70s and 80s ambient music. We love it. Retro kitsch style and it always feels like youre here for the right reason. I have been recommending this place for a long time.

What a great find!! My husband and I were visiting from Maryland and stumbled upon this place the night we arrived. It has a fun, eclectic vibe. Serendipitously, we sat at the table with the video game console. While we waited for our food, we played old school Mario. The food was delicious (didn t even take the time to snap a photo) and the server was so friendly and accompanying to us native English speakers. Will definitely go back if we visit this area!!

we got the lasagna, shepards pie, tomato soup, and nachos. everything was average: lasagna was mostly tomato sauce and not enough of the other things, nachos lacked sufficient cheese, shepherds pie was steaming hot geriatric slop (we still ate it all). tomato soup was FIRE though. relative to the other restaurants in the tourist part quebec city, i guess it was pretty okay for the price ($20 after tax and tip per person). the environment is much more memorable though. waiter was very nice, decor was so fun and warm and inviting. why arent all restaurants decorated like this

On cherchait un resto pas trop cher avec une bonne ambiance et c est ce qu on a trouvé. Les employés sont accueillants et tellement gentils. Et le décor est hyper chaleureux on se sentait comme à la maison. Je pense qu ils étaient un peu short staff ce soir mais ils ont tout de même gérer ça comme des boss :) des employés en or a garder à tout prix!:) Vegetarian options: Croque monsieur
